Toronto grade elimination.—The Board of Railway Commissioners has authorized the building of bridges at Jameson, Dunn and Dowling Avenues, Toronto along the line of this work. The track at the Queen St. subway, Sunnyside, has been tunneled under, and the abutments are being built. In connection with this work the Sunnyside batching beach is being expropriated together with some adjoining property. The center pier of the new bridge over the Humber river is approaching completion. The work of building this pier was a difficult one, as a cofferdam 30 ft. deep had to be built before the 65 ft. piles could be driven for the foundation work. The other work along the whole section to Mimico is well advanced.
